On Monday, January 26, 2009, the Librarian of Congress published the final determination of the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) establishing the new schedule of mechanical royalty rates and terms for the U.S. These include the first-ever statutory royalties for on-demand streams, limited downloads, and ringtones, as well as for physical recordings and permanent downloads. The participants to the proceeding now have 30 days to appeal the determination before the rates are binding. In the event no participant appeals, the rates and terms for physical recordings and permanent digital downloads will go into effect on March 1, 2009. Since these rates are the same as the previous rate, 9.1¢, you will not see any changes to your licensing or royalty statements. |
